I put the bike away for the season today. It is an 09 250R with no mods - bone stock - and 4700 kms on it. I did everything just fine but a few things I can't understand (I'm not a mechanic but I try to do all simple work myself). Questions:
1. Did I put too much fogging oil in cylinders? A few minutes after I finished spraying, the oil leaked out of the exhaust header manifold or out of two bored holes underneath the exhaust header manifold. Anything to worry about?
2. What are those two bored holes underneath the exhaust header manifold for?
3. Two friends (mechanics) said that with the spark plugs out, I had to manually crank the engine to spread the fogging oil. They said I just had to put it in gear and turn the back wheel with the bike on a lift. The wheel WOULD NOT TURN even though the plugs were out. They could not believe this. Anyone know why?
